Excludable and congestible shared goods club goods (e.g., internet access facilities) are more prevalent than Samuelsonian public goods. We construct an example to show that the optimal second-best provision level of a club good might exceed its ̄rst-best level. This is unlike the usual presumption with pure public goods. We argue that our ̄nding arises because user charges can be levied on clu...

The deformation behaviour of the intermetallic Al$_{2}$Cu-phase was investigated using atomistic simulations and micropillar compression, where slip on unexpected {211} {022} planes revealed. Additionally, all possible systems for phases were further evaluated a preference activation based their effective interplanar distances as well Burgers vector is proposed. distance corresponds to manually...

Introduction Robert Sweet first described a syndrome with a painful, erythematous nodular plaques, neutrophilic dermal infiltrates, fevers and peripheral neutrophilia. This cluster of syndromes became known as Sweet’s syndrome. There have been many published cases in children of neutrophilic dermatoses and fever which are labeled as Sweet’s syndrome. Recently, however, neutrophilic dermatoses h...

OBJECTIVES To examine trends in social and geographic inequalities in all-cause premature adult mortality in Japan. DESIGN Observational study of the vital statistics and the census data. SETTING Japan. PARTICIPANTS Entire population aged 25 years or older and less than 65 years in 1970, 1975, 1980, 1985, 1990, 1995, 2000 and 2005. The total number of decedents was 984 022 and 532 223 in ...

Introduction The cytoplasmic S100 proteins derived from cells of myeloid origin. Calprotectin (MRP8/14 protein complex) might be a biomarker either for autoinflammation and autoimmunopathy. Since autoinflammatory diseases might be a diagnostic challenge calprotectin may be helpful in the diagnosis of autoinflammatory diseases. Chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) is an autoinflammatory, non...

We present an improved comparison of the strong couplings of gluons to light (u, d, and s), c, and b quarks, determined from multijet rates in avor-tagged samples of hadronic Z decays recorded with the SLC Large Detector at the SLAC Linear Collider between 1993 and 1995. Flavor separation on the basis of lifetime and decay multiplicity di erences among hadrons containing light, c, and b quarks ...

The adults of Calochromini with male flabellate antennae were studied. Two new Calochromus Guérin-Méneville, 1833 species with flabellate antennae, C. kelantanensis spec. nov. and C. harauensis spec. nov. are described. Dumbrellia Lea, 1909 (Calochromini) is proposed as a new junior synonym of Plateros Bourgeois, 1879 (Lycinae: Platerodini). Flabellochromus Pic, 1925 is transferred to Calochrom...
